First directors, J. Meakin, G. H. Meakin, and J. Meakin, jun. Natal Navigation Coliieries and Estate Company Limited.—The report submitted to the general meeting at Durban on October 11 last covers the year ended June 30, 1912. The results of working were less satisfactory than those for the previous year owing to the reduced output, increased cost of native labour, and loss caused by the gob fire and explosions at the No. 1 pit on March 28 and 29, 1912. The net profit on coal, coke and sundry revenue was £43,756 (after deducting £2,240 explosion account). The total output was 325,524 tons, as against 338,227 last year. Interest on fixed deposits increased from £3,874 to £4,354. Sundry revenue, £154, has been credited to profit and loss account. The amount of £10,399 written off for depre- ciation is substantial, making a total of £62,466 for the last five years. The book values of amortisable assets are thus brought down to £90,859 for the three pits. The amount on deposit in South Africa and London at June 30 last was £118,000, as against £113,500 last year. In addition there was cash on current account in South Africa and London amounting to £12,546, an increase of £2,411. As regards the regrettable explosion at the No. 1 pit, the board, after consultation and discussion with their technical advisers, have approved of a cautious policy of restoration. Taking into account labour shortage, an earlier increased output was probable by completing No. 3 pit than by hurriedly, and at greater risk, restoring the shut-up half of No. 1 pit. Stringer and Co. (Sheffield) Limited.—This private company has been registered, with a capital of £8,000 in £1 shares, to take over the business of a steel manufac- turer, merchant and engineer carried on by Stringer and Co. at Wincobank Steelworks, Wincobank, Sheffield. Managing director, J. C. Stringer. Swan, Hunter and Wigham Richardson Limited.—It is proposed to increase the capital of this Tyneside ship- building company to £2,000,000 by the creation of 300,000 preference shares and 200,000 ordinary shares, all of £1 each.
